In this debut YA novel, we see that love can be a balm or a weapon. Venus is a fiercely loyal friend and sister, but she's also deeply secretive and unwilling to let anyone help her until it's almost too late. This book does a beautiful job showing that if you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together.
